Time and Location

Description

The laboratory provides motivated students with an opportunity to apply their
knowledge on the development of autonomous agents in the context of
RoboCup. This includes topic from the areas of Artificial Intelligence,
image/sensor processing, real time systems and control engineering. For a more
detailed description of RoboCup, have a look at the official homepage
www.robocup.org.

Students participating in this laboratory must choose a project from one of
these areas. In this context, they will learn how robots perceive their
environment, decide which actions to execute, and how to execute them
reliably. They will have to give short presentations during the laboratory to
share their experiences with other students in the group. Finally, they have
to hand in a short report of their project. Some of the proposed projects
are listed on the project page.

Prerequisites

Since all of our existing software is either written in C/C++ or in Java,
programming experience is absolutely necessary. Additionally, it would
be useful if students are familiar with some techniques from the area of
Artificial Intelligence, image processing or control engineering.

We are particularly interested in students that intend to continue their work
within a RoboCup team. They might also get the opportunity to participate in
international competitions. To reach this goal, however, we expect a high
degree of motivation and time investment.
